Beyond Meat
 
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Beyond Meat announced on May 8 that it will expand its brand over the summer to more than 50 countries.

The company expects to find a select group of distributors in Germany, the rest of Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Chile, Israel, UAE, Korea, Taiwan and South Africa.

“Reflecting rapid demand growth in the United States and sustained interest from international markets, we’ve taken steps to significantly increase our production capacity,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat founder and CEO. “These additions make it possible for us to support international launches, building upon the successful 2017 introduction of the Beyond Burger in Hong Kong.”

Beyond Meat makes plant protein alternatives to meatballs, chicken strips and tenders, beef crumbles and burger patties. The products are made with soy or pea protein, and are free of gluten, dairy, trans fats, cholesterols and GMO ingredients.

The company already has distribution to 27,000 grocery stores and restaurants in the US.
